From the link in the OP:
How To Procedure
1 Download the tarball.
2 Unpack it in sdcard, leave the directory structure intact.
3 Boot into CWM.
4 "Flash" multiboot/EL30/boot_EL30.zip
5 It will boot EL30.
6 You may find it useful to also upgrade your modem.
Bottleneck isn't the sd card, its the phone

So I used androzip
And it extracted a tar file with the same name and is about 750mb
I think somethings wrong right..?

Yeah, it takes a while to unpack using androzip! That's what I used took about an hour and it was 950+ mb.

The download is an archive within an archive. You extracted the inner archive (a tar archive) from within the outer bz2 (bzip) archive. You could extract the contents of the inner archive to get the files needed, but my phone seemed to have trouble even seeing most of the files, let alone extracting them. I highly recommend unpacking the archive on your computer to avoid this - some computer programs will even recognize the double-wrapped archiving, taking care of two steps in one

3G/4G Data Broken?
After a few complaints, I tested for myself, and it seems 3G and 4G data do not work with EL30 when booted in this manner. logcat shows the ROM complaining about the sdcard, as we expect there would be issues due to the ugly hack I used to boot EL30 from files on the sdcard.
Does 3G or 4G work for anyone in kexec EL30 sdcard?
In any case, it seems Profile and PRL update do work here. The next version of this tarball will be much smaller with most apps ripped out. It will contain mainly what is necessary to update PRL and Profile.

I also lacked any sort of data connection, although I didn't test wifi as there was no specific need for it. But I was able to accomplish my goal of a profile update (the PRL function worked without errors, but my PRL was already current - I don't expect any errors when a newer version becomes available, but you never know)
Thanks for bringing this awesome, time-saving convenience to the community

81Epic CM Team Blog: Boot FC09 from SDCard
Useful Utility for CM9 Epic 4G
This is a temporary ROM that boots Samsung's FC09 firmware entirely from sdcard without making any changes to the ROM installed on your phone. Simply reboot to return to your normal ROM. This sdcard ROM is useful for several purposes.- Settings > About Phone > System updates >
- Update Profile.
- Update PRL.
- Settings > Display > Horizontal calibration
- Do this if you have problems with auto rotate on CM9.
- Sprint Activation.
- Dial codes and diagnostic mode.
- Test Samsung FC09 behavior to aid in CM development.
- FC09-based with working 3G, 4G, Update Profile, faster speed.
- Uses 500MB on sdcard instead of 1GB.
- Includes Connectbot and GPS Status.

Yes there is... find any cm9 kernel (any mtd kernel may work) flash cm9 kernel in cwm, reboot recovery (DON'T REBOOT THE PHONE HERE ON ACCIDENT). Now you should be able to use the temp boot... once done boot back to cwm and reflash cm10 (or just the kernel for your rom) and now you can boot the phone back up... hope that helps....43Updated 4/8/2012: Now with working 3G/4G data and Update Profile!
